Seams are biomechanically aligned and allow optimum freedom of movement

Suits have more relaxed fit in the shoulder and chest area and added length in the legs, providing increased coverage and comfort

Strategically placed and anchored rear seams create “tension lines“

These “Tension Lines“ provide a lifting effect on the back of the legs helping to alleviate drag from fatigued legs

Powerskin Carbon Flex

Conceived as the ideal companion to the existing Carbon-Pro range, the Powerskin Carbon-Flex emerged from a process which include feedback and data from several sources, including individual Elite Team athletes. The carbon cage and its partners, Intelligent Compression and the Power Return System, remain core components of the Carbon-Flex. The difference is in the V-Flex System, a unique, innovative and patented construction developed by arena’s scientific network.

V-Flex System

In the V-Flex system, seams have been moved from the side of both women's and men's suits. On the women’s suits, the front seam runs from the crotch to under the arm, and the rear seam runs from the centre of the hamstring to under the arm.

The V-Flex System supports swimmers with three specific benefits:

Hip flexion and freedom of movement: Seam placement creates a “flexline” across the hip flexors, offering less resistance during hip flexion on starts, turns, and breaststroke kicks. The system delivers complete freedom of movement around the hips, glutes, and shoulders, along with perfect fit and comfort.

Linig effect - The rear seam creates a “tension line” between the two anchor points, limiting stretch on this line and having a lifting effect on the back of the legs. This helps to keep the legs high in the water during freestyle, and to keep the knees from dropping during breaststroke and butterfly

Push off the wall - During the tumble turn, the tension line also helps with pushing off the wall

In addition, the lengthening of the suit also provides greater body coverage, reinforcing the effects of Intelligent Compression.

Not surprisingly, following the popularity of the innovative Carbon-Pro designs, the Carbon Flex has its own distinctive flair. By placing the bonded seams on the outside, the suit has a two-colour design, making it stand out from the crowd.

Arena – How to Fit (Mens and Womens)

Jammers/Legsuits and Full Suits

Fold out the bottom of the suit so that the silicone is faced up and outside the garment

Gently pull the suit up over your knee (avoiding using your fingernails)

Now that you have your suit up over your wait ensure that there is no space between the suit and crotch. If there is space slowly work the suit up until it is in place.

Fold the edge back down so that the silicone is against your legs and smooth away any creases.

When the suit is fitted correctly it will allow you to bend your legs freely.Full Body Suits

From the waist pull the suit up and over the upper part of your body.

Slide one arm at a time through each arm hole, smoothing the suit as you do so.

Tightening Your Jammers

Do not pull the strings in the opposite direction of the drawstring opening, Cross the string before attempting to pull, and tighten.
